Leo DON'T

This topic was created in the Leo forum by krysrenee7 on Monday, January 19, 2009 and has 41 replies.
Let me go ahead & say this...I DO NOT expect for everyone (whether you're a Leo yourself or know alot of Leos) to agree with me. This is my personal opinion from an Aquarian point of view about the Leos I've personally observed. I'm in NO way labeling all Leos or saying that how I feel about this topic will be the same way others feel or the same thing others have observed. But, I am doing what this site allows me to do & that's to state my opinion
DON'T:
-Ignore your Leo or forget that you had plans, unless you don't want to see them anymore-they will think that you don't care if you aren't there. They take what they do with their own spare time very seriously & expect for you to understand how lucky you are that they chose that particular time with you
-Try to tell a Leo what to do & don't try to take charge-Leo's don't like to give up control, but instead like to have things their way. Leos don't mind constructive critism every once in a while but constantly wanting to have the "what you're doing wrong" talks will make them distance themselves from you. If they feel that they cannot ever satisfy you, they won't feel the need to be with you anymore
-Take your Leo's vanity (pride) down a few notches-This may hurt them more seriously than you realize-A Leo ego is fragile & easily bruised. Sometimes you just have to let them be Leos & let them win. Your Leo will give you your own spotlight eventually, but he won't if he can see that you're constantly competing for it
-Criticize a Leo in public (a major breach of trust)-Their spotlight will be stolen & their ego will be bruised. If you want to criticism a Leo in private & at home, he's grown & can handle it. But putting "the business" out there in front of other people is a major security breach to his trust. He will feel that the minute you felt the need to put him on front (in front of others) that your intentions are now to harm him & not help him.
-Never plan to do activities with them if you are in a bad mood, negative or not up to par. Leos love to be around positivity. They don't want to always have to take a backseat to your constant mood swings & pessimism.
-People who spend more than they earn. Even though some Leos are not as financially mature the way they should be, they still expect for their partners to be financially responsible. If your Leo messes up his finances, he wants to know that he can lean on his partner & learn from her, not be in a woman who's just as broke & financially irresponsible like he is.
-Laziness. When they want to go somewhere, they get annoyed when their partners keep being home-bodies. They like to see that their partners have motivation & drive & energy to do in life what they want. They, themselves got out of bed in the morning & expect for their partners to have the same mindset.
-Don't try to control them or dictate what they do. They want someone who can "compliment" them, not dominate them.
-Don't purposely laugh at them during the moments when they are speaking from the heart or opening up to you. They will easily be confused & assume that you don't take them seriously. Plus, the curiosity of what you're actually laughing at will bother them more than you think.

Most true!
I agree with proverbs.....I cannot stand not being appreciated. I don't need it returned, I don't need praise, I don't need compliments I just NEED some appreciation for what I do. When I make you dinner don't shower me with compliments about how good it was just make it known that your grateful for my efforts. That is ALL I need and I think many other signs see this is wanting to be constantly complimented - it's not the compliment we want it's the darn appreciation. Stop appreciating and you'll stop receiving.

I noticed this too. Whenver my Leo cooks me dinner, he seems more at ease when I say a simple, "Aw, it means so much to me that you cooked for me tonight, I really appreciate it." He seems to be more pleased & feeling appreciated when I say that instead of constantly telling him how good the food was over & over again. He wanted to hear that I was grateful that he cooked in general & not so much how it tasted. In his mind, he was more like "well duh, I know the food is good! I just want to know if she actually appreciates the fact that I even cooked it for her."
Very true.
Oh I never once thought that Leos were evil lol. But with us being complete polar opposites from Leos, there were just alot of things I didn't understand until I actually took the time to observe, learn & like. Now I likey!
Krys I'm with an Aqua and I see those polar opposites ALL the time...
It's hard to put into words but basically we'll want the same things but go about them in different ways...and look at each other as if the other one's nuts because he isn't doing it the same way!!
That Aqua/Leo thing is truly amazing and I cannot beging to tell you how much I've developed in the last year and a half from it. And let me tell you...he has too! To the point where friends and family have started noticing.
It's a gigantic learning curve and what's even better is that we're best mates....who could ask for more...having a best mate and being physically attracted.
I read recent survey results about woman who prefer being with their friends than their partners....for me I'm with my friend and parter at the same time. Awesome thing this.
OP - I think you're right on the money. Leos need to be respected and appreciated. I don't think that it's enough to just appreciate us in silence. You have to openly let us know. That doesn't mean that you have to be kissing our feet. We just want to feel validated...
"seriuosly don't listen to astrology websites written BY BIASED SCORPIO OR AQUARIUS listen to actual leo people . you will find we are not that needy and suprisingly humble in someways this is the truth ."
I agree what people in general should not let others define them. But in cases where there is not enough self-awareness or there is alot of denial, you'd be suprised at how much other people notice the things that someone is trying to cover up or doesn't even realize they possess yet. It's no different then when our parents or our friends are trying to tell us about ourselves. It's easy to be hard-headed & assume that you know everything about yourself & no one can tell you anything. But half of the time, others observations should be VERY important b/c what sense does it make for the whole world to feel you are something that you claim you're not. Chances are, it's not that the whole world is imagining things, it's you.
It's not about whether we as Aquarians or Scorpios agree with everything a Leo says. We're supposed to disagree, just like the Leos do. But what really matters is that others "understand" Leo behavior. If you honestly believe that others cannot be just as accurate in describing you the way you describe yourself, then you must think the world in general doesn't have the same eyes that you do. How do you know if your friends are trustworthy? Sure, they can tell you all day that they are but YOU make that decision & that call based on what you see. Observing Leos & what they clearly tell us & show us is, & then writing down those observations on paper can be just as accurate as me being a Leo myself. Don't forget that alot of my opinions on Leos (and other signs) came from the horses mouths themselves. I ask my Leos what are their comment petpeeves + I observe them when they are agitated with their partners & put 2 and 2 together, so you can't say that I'm imagining things just b/c I'm not a Leo.
And if that's the case then I'll use your own medicine on you & say that you don't know ANYTHING about any other sign because you're not them. I'm sure you'd disagree, right? Of course you would.
"seriuosly don't listen to astrology websites written BY BIASED SCORPIO OR AQUARIUS"
You need to read more carefully. I CLEARLY said that what I posted came strictly from my own observations. So why you think I got this from a website beats me. YES, it is actually possible to see things with your own eyes & draw conclusions. I don't have to read a website & find out information about the very same people that I can observe for myself. Get it together Snapple
"maybe it is because you go on and on about stuff that people already think they have a handle on,and it lacks a personal touch,its just like blanket boring facts or opinions and theres a butter load of them ,like it fills the whole damn page.it's a dry read.
even when you got personal about how your dude cooked for you,it's still boring and i dont think anyone realy gives a butter. i would put a edge on it ,i like writing long winded ass post myself,but i try to poor my guts out in them and shake myself and the reader sometimes or at least be funny, yours are just like long dry farts.like butter people can just google,and there allready astrology geeks,they know all that butter allready.and me personaly i just don't care,and i like a more personal touch,some blood ,sweat ,and tears in it,and a healthy splash of sex."
And hey, if that's your opinion I'm fine with that. The point of my post is not to ENTERTAIN, but instead to inform. As you can see through my responses, there are alot of people that already knew what I posted, but just needed to hear them put in different words. and there are also those who responded to my posts who actually didn't even know anything about Leo (or whatever sign) pet peeve & were very grateful for the fact that I posted what I did. I'm not trying to make you guys laugh or make you like me. My post wasn't titled "Ha ha laugh at this." I'm just simply putting my observations out there & I'm sorry that you didn't get a laugh out of it all. You may not care about my posts but don't speak for others who actually were thankful for what I posted.

I understand that not everybody likes to read long paragraphs. But guess what? That's how I write & furthermore, that's how I chose to express myself. There are plenty of people who don't mind my long paragraphs b/c atleast I'm talking about something (the entire time) that they are interested in. After all, they wouldn't have clicked on my post had they not had atleast 1% spark of interest in the topic or what I had to say. If you're one of those people who don't like long paragraphs, then instead of reading them just to complain, SHOW us your point by not reading them at all. That will cut off your feelings of being bored with what I write. Telling me you don't give a # $ % $ isn't going to change the fact that those "paragraphs" are already there. If you can find a way to express your own "Leo don'ts" in a smaller & more simpler way, then by all means, do it & the best of luck to you. But why don't people seem to understand that I have been writing this way since I joined this website & the way I write will not change, especially for the few people that made the CHOICE to click on something they supposedly "already knew" was going to be boring?
"There is nothing wrong with ky her posts and intentions are to benefit others but she like ever other sign (except leo ) kisses scorpio ass which is pathetic "
I don't kiss anyone's ass. If all Scorps. started talking trash to me, I'd give them the same words & treatment I give everyone. I just happen to understand Scorps. alot more than I do some of the other signs. So yes, I do stick up for them as well I do with other signs that I feel I understand a little bit more than others. If me understanding Scorps. means the same as "kissing" someone's ass then I think you've got your "definitions" wrong.
"There is nothing wrong with ky her posts and intentions are to benefit others"
So does that mean you're kissing my ass? You basically said that you understand why I post what I post (to benefit others) meaning that you clearly "understand" the reasoning for what I'm doing. But does that mean you're kissing my ass? I'm sure you'd say HELL no!
I understand that some people like to read things that are short & simple while others like to read things that are a little more in depth with the main points. And if you're one of those people that like to read "short and simple" then that's fine. But quit hanging yourself by coming to the "long & more in depth" posts if you can't handle it. It sounds like you're having a problem deciding on where to click the mouse, not me. The people who don't mind my "long paragraphs" can either write short & simple ones themselves or flock to the members who write in the style you like. But to keep telling me how boring my writing is when you had the choice to click on something else won't ever make me forget about the people who actually enjoy the way I write. I'm here to appeal to those who are okay with my writing style . I'm not here to argue with those who don't. There is a SIMPLE solution to YOUR (keyword) problem. Just don't read any more of my post. I have not changed. The way I wrote this post is the same way I write ALL of my posts. Get with the program or get lost.
"Ky you have to admit because of scorpios descrpitions as most powerful and strongwilled and sexy you felt your own sign aqua is inferior . so you wanted to "buddy" up by praising and find similar traits of aquas and scorps saying how you both understand each other and are incredible blah blah . Basically you want to feel on the same level as scorps (who are exteremly arrogant btw) so you both can stand on a mantle and look at others faults "
If that's how you see it, oh well. You can put it into any kind of terms the way you want. But the question is, now what? If you really feel that way then why do you keep flocking towards everything I post? After all, according to you, I'm so pathetic & inferior to everyone else, right?
"But leos will never bow or kiss anyone ass because we are secure in our strength and we sure as hell don't give a rats ass about these overated scorpios and their asskissers ."
I'm not jealous of the status Scorps. have. Usually those who call Scorps. "over-rated" are the main ones who are jealous of the fact that they themselves can't have that spotlight. The way you're trying to diagnose me as being/feeling is probably you speaking about your own beliefs about Scorps but to cover it up you'd rather diagnose someone else, other than yourself. YOU think Scorps. are over-rated, that's why you have such a problem when someone sticks up for them. Misery loves company & you're mad that you are not getting the same "praise" others get. Seems like YOU are the one who needs to do some "admitting."
"Really ? hmm suscipicious consdering you are fixed air and they are fixed water i mean if you said libras or something okay . Is it because you understand them or is it because you want to say "aquas and scorps are close we really get each other" so you will feel cooler ?"
I understand other Aquarians (even though they're they're a fixed sign). So what, am I kissing my OWN ass just b/c I understand something that is similar to me. If you think others are only limited in intelligence to things they are NOT then you've got things backwards. Other fixed signs may not be good together in relationships, but understanding them as a whole is alot easier.
Oh and by the way, I refuse to keep arguing with you on something that is irrelevant to what I posted. You are inferior to Scorps, that's why you come to the Leo board & automatically start bad-mouthing them. If you have a problem with the way Scorps. are "over-rated" then go to the Scorp. board & discuss that with THEM, not me. I will no longer argue with you. Of course, I can't control what you write, but if you want to argue with yourself, then by all means, Lord knows I need a good laugh. ..........As of right now, Snapple, you don't even exist to me. If you don't believe me, just TRY ME......NEXT
i love me some krysreene always wise
Thanks Virgo 28..From now on, I'll only respond to those who click on my posts b/c they actually ENJOY them. Winking
"Here's a Leo dont. . .dont say anything mean to them, they are very sensitive on the inside lol."
Damn. Why didn't I think of that one when I was writing this post. Good one Prince Winking
Well saying something mean to someone will obviously bring out either anger or sensitivity in anyone, not just Leos. But certain signs have a higher sensitivity level to certain things & think Leos are one of the signs that do. And there's nothing wrong with that, but hey, that's my opinion. It is what it is. I don't think it's a negative thing that Pisces are a little bit more sensitive then some of the other signs. It's just the nature in how they are. And to some, being sensitive is the same as being weak or inferior when it's not, in my definition book. I think what sets aside one sign from the other IS the main fact that some signs are a little more "something" than another sign.
Krys...you need to learn to chill...seriously.
You take things far to literally and you assume they're directed at you ALL THE TIME. Personally I enjoy your posts...when I have plenty of time on my hands because they are long, but good and informative. Perhaps you should write an astrology book because I'm a little scared taking my laptop into the bath with me to read your posts...
What I'm trying to say is, lighten up girl. You write pages and pages of research and findings on here when sometimes we just want to talk about life. I still think you should publish a book though because you're no dummy!
^^^ lol she writes with authority so believable - that defo book stuff!
--- not sure how the reaction to criticism of the book will be though... 'Water-bearer I know so appreciate me' nature mmm Winking

I know sometimes it seems that I'm mad as hell when I respond to others b/c of the tone of what I'm writing. But I wish you guys could see the smirk on my face half of the time. When I'm defending myself, of course I get into serious mode like most people do. But other that, I won't laugh or entertain ignorance, even if others see it as something funny. If I thought this site was for kids, sure I'd hahahaha all day but I get very disappointed when I post something for the "adult mind" & end up getting responses from "childlike" or drama-ridden people. Of course that's life but hey, when I say I'm going to ignore someone, that's my way of showing AND telling someone that they will never have any power over my emotions or how I take things. Some may not see it that way, but I do.
But anyways, thanks for the feedback! Winking
actually, you will save us a lot less trouble iof you stop defending yourself and let things flow. as long as you post something in the public, there will alweays be negitive and postive feedback. I just want to point that out LOL.

lol
really?
"In my 3 and half years of being on dxp..Ive NEVER noticed an ADULT around here"
And that's so sad.
"actually, you will save us a lot less trouble iof you stop defending yourself and let things flow. as long as you post something in the public, there will alweays be negitive and postive feedback. I just want to point that out LOL."
Negative feedback is COMPLETELY different than ignorance. Negative feedback is "I don't agree & this is why" or "what you said didn't describe me at all" but saying "You're an idiot" & responding by calling me words that the website has to BLEEP out is pure ignorance. I said in my "disclaimer" that I didn't expect for everyone to agree with me & the reason I said that is so people couldn't come back & say "well Krys, how can you not allow negative comments." Every time someone disagreed with me I told them that I appreciated them for their point of view OR I started to debate with them. You guys think I'm supposed to post something on this website & never speak or respond to what you guys say again? If someone keeps saying, "You're so boring" what am I supposed to do other than make it clear (E.I. defend myself) that YOU'RE the idiot for reading something you already knew wouldn't entertain you. And you said, save "us" a lot less trouble. You said it perfectly. YOU guys are the ones getting headaches over MY post, not me.
^^^ randomness Tongue
Isnt God complex something typical aqua?
you'll be amazed how many people don't realise this characteristic Winking
"Not really, whats sad is to realise you find yourself in a place where most people dont appreciate posts coming from someone with God-complex"
If I really felt that I had "God-complex" I'd say so & wouldn't care how others took it. But I didn't say that & I don't think that but YOU do, so thanks. I'm honored. I just happen to know alot about astrology & those who wish they did or can't "do it" the way I do always are the 1st ones to complain, yet can't come up with a better list. I'd say you need to get like me Evan...Need a baby wipe?
"Not really, whats sad is to realise you find yourself in a place where most people dont appreciate posts coming from someone with God-complex"
It's always easier to be the follower, to be in the crowd with the ignorant & to complain & hate when you see/read something you couldn't come up with yourself. If you're saying that this place is filled with those types of people then hey, I'm honored to be the REBEL. I'm honored to be the one who's different & the one who actually came to this website to say something intelligent. You must think I'm some kind of God if you keep "diagnosing" someone who's already identified herself without the help or assistence from random & faceless DXP users. In fact, every time you try to convince yourself that I'm something (whatever it is), you are just FURTHER convincing ME that YOU must really be the one to believe it.
When people say "She thinks she's all that," I laugh & say, "Oh no, I don't think I'm all that, but YOU do."
Every time people say "She thinks she just so smart," it cracks me up b/c you are really just labeling me from your OWN point of view (E.I. smart). The sooner people realize the "reverse" effect, the more they'll think twice about what comes out of their mouths
oh brother...
lmao
hehe, so if they drop the ego, they trade it for cancerness?
"krysrenee no one here thinks "She thinks she just so smart," what they prolly think ,is your annoying as butter. notice how the leos aren't responding to you anymore? there smart little treetrunkers almost as smart as aries are"
I could care less if the Leos aren't responding anymore. For people that seem to see me as so "annoying", they also ironically can't seem to stop following me around on this site & finding my post just to complain all over again. 50% of this post was for the Leos & the other 50% of this post was for those who are involved with Leos or have been. And guess what, if I'm still getting responses (whether good or bad) from those who are involved with Leos or want to understand them better, then I've acheived my goal, haven't I? You guys hate "annoying" people but yet you guys always flock towards things you consider annoying & that's not a personal problem for me, but it is for others who act like they're going to die every time they CHOICE (keyword) to click on something that they claim causes their death every time.
It's been said that Leos love attention. And unfortunately, flocking towards something you don't like or get annoyed with, just to complain & be heard is another form of yearning for attention. Alot of the Leos that stopped responding to me, stopped b/c they said what they had to say & kept it moving. They either agreed or they didn't & kept it moving. I didn't expect for them to argue with me about expect me to change what's already been written. The only ones who are still responding to me are those who are being negative just for the sake of being negative (thus I find it a BIG coincidence that the same negative people always show their faces in my posts). Of course those who didn't come here to argue or those who are not going to have a heartattack just b/c they disagreed with something I said stopped responding. If I wasn't being called every name in the book, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I personally wanted to stay on topic, but since others took it too far & changed the subject, I stood my ground, as would anyone else. The only difference is when you guys do it, you justify it as having the right to your own opinions but yet when I stand firm to my opinions, I get called a "know it all."
I don't have a problem with those who can agreeably disagree with me. But just like the average human on this earth, I have a problem with those who can't just disagree & move on. No, they've got to get ignorant, start using words that the website BLEEPS out & make the original topic change into being about something completely different.
I DON'T agree
Every "Zodiac Sign" has their own Compitability Signs.
If you're not compitable with the LEO., Then Stay Away..
Thatz it smile
^^^ lol!!! omg - this is too funny
It's been said that Leos love attention
like their opposite sign maybe?
I DON'T agree
Every "Zodiac Sign" has their own Compitability Signs.
If you're not compitable with the LEO., Then Stay Away..
----------
Just b/c I know the flaws of another sign has nothing to do with how compatible I am with that sign. I know the good AND the bad about the Leos & me being informed about this is just simply knowledge or understanding. It has nothing to do with how I actually react with them. And I'm very compatible with the Leos in my life. I may not be compatible with the Leos on this website but who cares, because I'll never have to meet you, marry you or deal with you outside of a computer screen. Not only is my man a Leo (and our relationship is GREATTTT) but alot of the men & women in my family are Leos so I've come to understand them & mesh well with them. Just b/c I point out something about them that you may not agree with has absolutely nothing to do with how I personally engage with them.
